Mission Statement
Girls Write Now mentors underserved young women and gender expansive youth to find their voices through the power of writing and community.
About This Cause
For almost 25 years, Girls Write Now has been a nationally respected leader in arts education as New York’s first and only writing and mentoring organization for girls and gender expansive youth. Girls Write Now matches underserved young people—over 90% of color, 90% high need, 75% immigrant or first generation, and 25% LGBTQ/gender non-conforming—with professional writers and digital media makers as their personal mentors. Mentees’ multi-genre, multimedia work is published in outlets including Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, and The New York Times, performed at Lincoln Center and the United Nations, and wins hundreds of Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. 100% of Girls Write Now seniors are accepted to college—armed with confidence, portfolios, and life-long bonds. Through Girls Write Now’s Writing Works workforce development program, we prepare young adults to be skilled communicators and competitive candidates, creating a diverse pipeline into the schools and industries most in need of their talents. Girls Write Now has been distinguished three times by the White House as one of the nation’s top youth programs, twice by the Nonprofit Excellence Awards as one of New York’s top ten nonprofits, by NBCUniversal’s 21st Century Solutions for Social Innovation, by Youth INC for Youth Innovation, and as a DVF People's Voice Nominee. Reaching over 6,000 youth annually, Girls Write Now is a founding partner of the STARS Citywide Girls Initiative, now in its seventh year. Girls Write Now earned the 2019 HI Impact Award, ranking in the top 4% of programs nationwide for outstanding performance driving social-emotional growth for youth. Girls Write Now breaks down the barriers of gender, race, age and poverty to mentor the next generation of writers and leaders. Together, our community channels the power of our voices and stories to shape culture, impact industries and inspire change. Inspired by a sense of urgency to infuse new, diverse talent into all industries, Girls Write Now proudly aligns with corporate institutions—in publishing, finance, technology, entertainment, and beyond—to build customized holistic partnerships around new talent acquisition, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, publicity campaigns, special projects, pilots and more. Girls Write Now’s creative, digital and workforce development programs create a win-win for emerging writers and the schools and companies in need of their talents. There is a market demand for stellar communication—in partnership, we can meet it. Mentoring young women and gender expansive youth to be creative thinkers, clear writers and competitive candidates, together we can shape the landscape of your industry and next generation of leaders.
